Lines That Meet

We began by drawing a few lines on a large piece of paper, the children saw it to be his or her space to paint in. I found this to be interesting because as we covered the whole paper with lines that joined from one end to the other the children began painting different colors within the lines, being careful not to paint over or into someone else's space.
 
It seemed that the children were aware of each others space and respected their friends work enough not to paint over or onto it. From a few lines the children learnt how to work together, whilst being mindful of friends painting, when painting on the same paper.
 
 

Mary is painting around the border of her space on the paper, before painting the middle. 

 


 

 
 
Sophia paints straight lines from top to bottom within her space on the paper.
 
 

Georgia and Christina are painting very closely, however they are both respecting each others painting space.

 
 
Christina looks around the painting and is happy to find the last white space on the paper to paint in orange.

The children in our 3year old program have demonstrated that they can work together on the same artwork and be respectful towards each others painting. 

Until next post
